90% of the Victory Gardeners during WW2 didn’t know how to garden. That didn’t stop Chicago from becoming the national role model for Victory Gardening! Like those neighbors of generations past, we’ll be there to help you put in your garden and answer questions throughout the growing season in person and online.

Plus, look out for our educational events and activities throughout the summer.

The Peterson Garden Project also has its very own gardeners' online community and forum for gardening how tos , Q&A on specific growing questions, monthly garden checklists, product recommendations, external educational events and plant sale updates

While you’re at it, to learn more about how Chicago was the urban gardening capital of the nation from 1942-1945, click HERE.
